Title: How to properly connect a Supergrafx to a Super CDrom2?
Post by: Supercom on May 29, 2016, 07:39:44 AM

Hello, quick question. According to the manuals what is the proper way to connect power to a Supergrafx system and a Super CD-rom 2 combo?
 Do each need their separate Ac adapters?

Thanks for any replies.

Separate ACs unless you get the custom power cable.

Thanks for your reply. I know there are made up custom non-official patch cables but, was there an official NEC release of this cable?

It came with the SuperCDROM2, didn't it?

I run a single AC adapter, but I run one with more amp output than the stock ones. I figured if both parts of the system was drawing from it, it might as well be beefier. Yeah, and custom cable needs to be made for the pass through.

Super CD-ROM2 came with two patch cables - one for PCEngine and the other for SuperGrafx
